Link to a priest, John Athorne, on the chancel floor. Steps lead down to an undercroft (seen here) below the sanctuary, which might once have been served as a crypt or a treasury but in later days was used to hold overnight prisoners on their way from King's Lynn to Norwich. The church is open every day. For more information see:
